It's that cool-looking guy found on people's t-shirts.

Che seems to have become like a rock star whose death immeasurably improved his merchandising.

These days those shirts are most popular with wannabee youth with little understanding of the Cuban Revolution who want to look "bad."

I could add "and annoy their elders" but that is part of parcel of youth going back to prehistory, so nothing special there.

A relative has been jailed in Castro-led Cuba. What does a family do to make the best of a bad situation? They get a lawyer to petition on behalf of the jailed relative.

Which lawyer should they select? They need one that has experience in dealing (hopefully successfully) with the Castro regime. As they say in Washington, "it's not what you know but who you know." Under these circumstances whose signed portrait is more likely to impress a client: John F. Kennedy or Che Guevara?

Or that they want to show they're not ruled by the pointless posturing of the previous generation.

Che Guevara is popular in Cuba and it's probably a good business prop.

your pal,

They're ruled by the pointless posturing of their peers. That's also a stance as old as the hills.

As is the old man shaking his fist in impotent rage because "the youth" don't respect his longstanding and half forgotten disagreements.
